That craftsman box my dad has had to have bought it around 1969 or so too as he had it a couple years prior to me being born. My first toolbox was a black top/gray bottoms plastic one, a set of stanley screwdrivers, pliers, adj wrench and hammer from a discount store when I was about 12. I...

I have old awning anchors and the strip of metal the top hinge slid into. I'd like to remove them. They have large nail head on them and don't want to pry out. Is the best way to just cut them with an angle grinder/cutoff wheel then patch the wall? Wondering if anyone here has any tricks...

I am not an electrician, but I have worked with wires... that said my biggest issue with pretwisting is many do so and it's too small for the nuts. Now maybe HD/Lowes/etc sells the 'wrong' ones...I don't know. I have pre-twisted and not and had equal failures in my experience. I always pull...

I need to rewire my workshop soon...as a plus the previous owner used 4 wire romex probably capable of 100 amps everywhere :)...as a con he pulled each run about as tight as you can make it between boxes. To be more clear, you unscrew a box face and it's impossible to move the receptacle at all...

regardless of pretwisting or not I always pull test my connection. I have had the plastic covering fall right off once.

run the chain into the kitchen like a Hooters or old diner so the beer wench knows what you are ordering :)

looking for a router used, new or other :) $150 is my price point.

I will probably just buy another one (K2 Smartset by K-Rain), the filter looked fine but I flushed it anyway. The sprinkler will pop up but not turn until I reduce the pressure slightly and restore it. Sometimes it works fine without doing this. Is there anything I can 'clean'? The manual...

on a side note, first aid cabinets are great storage....esp for small paints and bottles.

I picked up my craftsman for 50% off plus a coupon bringing it down to about $10. I have used it alot, I had bought it to just troubleshoot an a/c system, but since I found many things I can do with it.

bump maybe buying something this weekend

thanks I was going to check next time at HD.

HOLY MOLY...I just bought a new jigsaw to replace one of those B&D's with the rotary 'lock' knob. Always fell to a bevel and ruined a cut about 90% of the time. How can they sell this. My new B&D has a very positive lock, I actually tried in the store to move the plate :) My recent review of...

Looking for a drill press sub $200...these come up time to time for that price. Goes down to 250rpm for a nice metal drilling speed. Anyone own one now or ever? pros/cons? Thanks

Got some PM's, however; I do have a Sears (more than three actually within a 10 mile radius) :) I am looking for pricing to my doorstep CHEAPER than new.

If I bought a Ryobi tool, would my 19.2 craftsman battery be plug and play? I have had my 19.2 setup (all nicad still) for a long time. The only failure was one charger that I think was user damage rather than manufacturing. My buddy kept palmheel slamming the battery into it. I died...

Thanks...I don't know what happened above...hope it wasn't me. I was looking at that stuff (the oil based one), it seems pretty cheap which is good. They had some that self-etched but it still says to do all the same prep work :) I may do this as I really don't want anything slippery...my...

dear god...nissan crawler...whatever...perhaps responding to the question instead of chasing others thoughts around. Garageguy...I am building a working garage not a car showroom...looks like your clientele is more wine and cheese, but I bet they have some nice MAC Toolboxes that never get touched.

i could not verify there is a town in china named USA...
